Reader Reviews

I was interested in building a muzzleloader so. Taking advice on learning more about them before buying I bought the book to understand more on the history as well as the craftsmanship. The book covers a lot of information of designs from different locations.
5 Star Amazon Review,Verified Purchaser; Very helpful and not boring.

I got this as a reference guide to building my own rifle. Even though I have a mentor to help me, I believe this book will go a long way in filling the gaps.
5 Star Amazon Review,Verified Purchaser; Awesome book.

This is exactly what I wanted all the info on I needed measurements and everything.
5 Star Amazon Review,Verified Purchaser D. Ditch; Amazing book.
